There isn't any correlation in the sense that only metal bands come from Country X and pop groups come from Country Y. But there is a distinct style within multiple genres that is unique to some places. Like flamenco guitar is primarily associated with Spain, etc... And music is culture, so by understanding the music, you are understanding part of culture.
UGH! Hatred! Well, jealousy really, I feel all Franz fans are generally good people... hum, well la-dee-da, met Franz Ferdinand "twice"... was it like a personal, shake hands, sit down and chat type of thing or was it just Alex bobbing his head and saying "Hey", Bob looking a bit gloomy, Paul off somewhere random and Nick doing a shy wave? Details! (wow, sounding like a rabid fangirl right now...)
Nick got my friend Maddie and I on the guest list for the Austin show because it was sold out, so we brought them Vodka, and talked with them for quite some time after the show. I got to talk to Alex about guitars for quite awhile =D
Oh, wow... yes... those are tears in my eyes right now actually, definitely... it's no longer just jealously, there's definite hatred right now... lol. Seriously though, that's sounds really cool. That's why I should have stayed in Austin, not too big, not too small and very cosmopolitan. Serves me right for leaving the country!
Is ther ean explanation of their reworking for "Lucid Dreams"? I heard the song cut from "There is no..." (original version) to "I'll make a nation of you" (new album version). It was weird.
These guys seem to really like each other and are very professional when it comes to their music, that's why they're so talented and likely to have long careers and an evolving sound that legendary bands have all had.
Nick and Bob are from England but Alex and Paul are Scottish. But they are formally known as a "Scottish band" as they formed themselves when they were in Glasgow.
What a great album! Franz Ferdinand is the perfect kind of band to make such a dance-inducing album...their music has always been catchy with plenty of hooks.
Does anyone know where that town hall is in Glasgow?

Well there is no correlation between most bands and where they come from.
I'd ask you to tell me where your logic has served to give you ANY idea of what a culture is like in a certain area.

There isn't any correlation in the sense that only metal bands come from Country X and pop groups come from Country Y. But there is a distinct style within multiple genres that is unique to some places. Like flamenco guitar is primarily associated with Spain, etc... And music is culture, so by understanding the music, you are understanding part of culture.

Alex lived in Greek too, when he was young, because his dad is greek.

Bob was born in Dewsbury, growed up in Bradford.
